The Butterfly System
Chapter 33 [World of Mental Illusions I ]

"What do you mean?" Azura.

Darel smiled faintly and did not answer Azura's question. He then attacked Azura suddenly and managed to scratch Azura's neck slightly. If Azura's reflexes were no faster than the sword's movements it might just be that now her neck was successfully slashed by Darel. Azura took out her spirit sword and repelled the attack from Darel's sword which was similar to Azura's.

'How does he have the same spirit sword that belongs to the system?' Inner Azura.

The fight between Azura and Darel was getting fiercer and neither side wanted to give up. The breath of both of them is no longer irregular, Azura is busy protecting every student while Darel attacks brutally and no matter the surroundings. Feeling bothered to protect all the Azura people lure Darel to come out.

Even though Darel knew what Azura meant, he followed her. He really enjoyed the fight without anyone bothering him. Darel had exhausted all his strength as well as Azura, simultaneously both of them were sitting cross-legged on the grass.

"Hoshis... Hoshs... Let's rest first, I'm tired. We just change this match. Fighting you who do not run out of energy makes me difficult," said Darel while releasing just any sword.

"You're strong enough, how can you have a sword like mine? And again you think of a fight that took someone's life with the game?! I hate that kind of attitude!" Azura said as she tried to stand holding her sword.

"Well, you're a good strong man. I don't like it, but because you're different, I'd rather challenge you" said Darel.

"But I'm running out of energy, are we changing the mental strength game?" Darel and in one breath both disappeared from their places.

Mira finally appears when Darel and Azura enter an illusionary world that tests both mentally. Mira tidied the matra that made magic patterns appear around Darel, he did so so that his master Darel could be conscious and not immersed in the world of mental illusions.

In the illusionary world Azura woke up in her room with an irregular roar of breath. Familiar with the incident, the man turned to face the mirror near his bed. His face looked dull and gloomy, his body was full of bruises and there were knife marks on his stomach.

"Ah, I remember. I'm a loser" Azura said with a sad smile.

He went to school after wearing a uniform that was quite old and worn. He wears his shoes with trembling hands and makes a dark memory appear in his head about how he was thrown shoes after being beaten by a classmate. Also a memory of how he got into prison for one night for stealing a classmate's cell phone.

Azura held her head with her body shaking violently because of the trauma she experienced due to the law enforcement at her school. Azura tried to stand up even though her legs were trembling slightly, she exhaled a few times to calm herself down. For some reason he was so afraid to open the door of his house, the outside world seemed very scary for him. He turned around for a moment to look at his house.

"Why so quiet? Am I just here alone?" Azura then opened the door of her house.

...☄☄☄...

Bugh..

Bugh..

Bugh..

In a small alley with his school Azura witnesses how a student is beaten up. He was silent for a moment to see it, the incident he had often got in his school. Someone from the small alley noticed the existence of Azura who was pecking at his place with a pale face.

"Hey! You're who? Well, Azura's our classmate. You still dare to go to school?" Said a man Azura knew, Aron.

"Yesterday you're a jerk!" Aron said with a grouchy face.

"You didn't hear me? Well, you're getting bolder, yes" said Aron as he walked towards the frightened Azura.

Aron pulls Azura's bag which makes Azura interested. With Azura's rudely thrown into the pile of trash until all the garbage hit Azura, his clothes were now dirty complete with a pungent smell of garbage. Aron squatted looking at Azura who was trying to stand up, the cigarette in his mouth was already lit and exhaled his smoke into Azura's face.

"Hey, did you see that kid?" Said Aron while pointing with his chin at a man he had beaten with his friend.

"You know? He helped you get out of jail! You know, everything on your side ain't nobody lucky." Aron stood up and put both his hands into his pants pocket.

"You have to remember that! You're alone!" Said Aron while throwing his cigarette butts towards Azura.

After Aron and his friends left, Azura immediately approached the child who was covered in bruises all over his body. Several times Azura called the man but still there was no response, he did not move at all. Azura turned the person's body upside down, her eyes were covered by the bangs of her hair that were too long.

"You okay?" Azura said but once again there was no response from that person.

"Did he faint?" Azura said and immediately carried the person's body to get treatment immediately.

In her little heart, Azura was happy that there were still people helping her but was a little sad that the people who helped her would instead have to suffer like this. Azura stood by the side of the road to cross when it was already a green light.

"It looks like I'll be late again" muttered Azura.

Already the green light, Azura immediately walked in haste and unknowingly a car drove swiftly towards him. The sound of tire and road friction sounded quite loud and made everyone panic, just turning around the car had already hit his body. Azura was not thrown far enough but it was enough to make her head bleed.

Azura's body was crumbling and unable to move anymore. For a while he could only see the voices of the people surrounding him until it all darkened.

'I why? My head hurts!' His inner.

'Strong!" Inner Azura and suddenly he woke up in a dark place and there was no one but him there.

"Akhkkp.. Where's this?" Azura looked around and occasionally grimaced in pain.

One drop of water fell and somehow his voice was so loud in this dark place. The crying voice now Azura listened, she kept calling out to the person who was sitting on her back. Azura tried to touch her but her hands were translucent and could not touch the grandmother.

"Grandma, why are you crying?" A child sits with his grandmother.

"Azura, good boy. Grandma will take care of Azura from today," said a grandmother who Azura knew very well.

The grandmother immediately hugged the child about ten years old. Azura several times asked herself why did her childhood memories twist back? He's confused! Azura saw the child crying looking at the graves of her mother and father. Unknowingly tears came out from Azura's beautiful pupils, truly this event hurt her heart. About how mom and dad died so tragically.

"What's this?" Azura.

Azura turned around not wanting to witness the sad memories that she had long since pendam. Azura wiped away her tears and looked in front of her, which now featured her pleading while kneeling to her aunt and uncle to give her money for her grandmother's surgery.

"Auntie I beg you, please grandma. He needs surgery right away" said the high school boy in his dirty clothes.

"For what? He is old, why spend money on the man who is almost dead" said the aunt.

"That's fine, your grandmother also owed us a lot. What are you gonna pay for it with?" Said the uncle.

"I'm going to help Grandma just once. I'll do anything, I beg you." Tears had drenched his slightly bruised cheeks.

"You are useless. Get out of our house, you're soiling the expensive floor of our house" said the aunt.

Azura clenched her hands seeing how her former self was in need was unfair. The high school boy was still faithfully kneeling in front of the house, the rain had fallen since then but he was still persistent to beg. For about an hour he knelt there until the clock showed at five in the afternoon. It was time for his grandmother's surgery to be performed, he rushed to the hospital.

"Grandma, granny. Where's grandma?" Said the boy when he could not find his grandmother in his room.

He kept asking the doctor and the nurse but they fell down and put on a sad face. Azura who saw herself like that could only endure the tightness in her chest which made her breath short.

"Son, our grandmother is dead. He's already in the morgue" said the doctor.

Deg.

Azura's heart immediately stopped. She knew how much pain she felt when she found out Grandma had died. The high school boy's leg was suffocated to hear the words coming out of the doctor's mouth. Her tears came out along with the irregular roar of Azura's breath.

"Stop this, I beg you." Azura grabbed her hair, she was really tormented with this memory.
